Boy George has been convicted of falsely imprisoning a male escort. The jury in a London court sided with Audun Carlsen, 29, who claimed that the former Culture Club frontman (real name George O'Dowd), 46, had handcuffed him and beat him with a metal chain. This musician was known from his 80's hits such as "Karma Chameleon".
Admitted to cuffing the escort, but said it was because he suspected the man of tampering with his computer. According to the U.K.'s Press Association, the singer looked grim as the verdict was delivered. The singer was released on bail until his Jan. 16 sentencing. Judge David Radford warned Boy George that he was likely to face jail time. "The fact that your bail is being continued does not imply that this will be dealt with by a non-custodial sentence," he said, CNN reports. "I don't want any false expectations created." He has a long history of drug abuse in 2006. He spent 5 days sweeping the streets of New York as his court ordered community service. I think this was the 2nd time of the musician facing the law.
